Is Lady Gaga’s Latest a Madonna Ripoff?


The world of modern pop music has been worriedly awaiting this day and the release of recent pop sensation Lady Gaga‘s title track from her upcoming CD Born This Way.

I took a listen and thought it sounded vaguely familiar, Mainly the chorus of the song. Without even thinking about it, a little while later I was humming the song to myself.

But wait! It wasn’t Lady Gaga I was humming… it was Madonna! That’s right. I was humming Madonna’s 1989 hit “Express Yourself”.

I immediately went back to take a second listen to Born This Way, and immediately it launched into the chorus, I had no problem completely replacing Gaga’s goods with the lyrics and melody to Express Yourself.
